Vacation

Staff and Administrators

The amount of vacation you accumulate and the maximum balance that can be carried in any month depends on your position classification (exempt or nonexempt), the type of appointment you have, and your length of continuous University service.

If you are preparing for a major life event, or have experienced an unexpected work-related situation, you may be granted an exception to the maximum accumulation allowed. Please see HR 34 for complete details.

Vacation time off is scheduled by mutual agreement between you and your college or department. You should verify with your supervisor how the process works.

HR-88 Position (Annual FTE of 75% or More)

The amount of vacation accumulated and the maximum balance that can be carried in any month for HR 88 positions is determined by multiplying your annual FTE by the accumulation rates with the same classification and years of service. (see above)
